and they can tell the US military to go f* themselves...

Now let's all do the same!

Of course, but... bills energy are not low in Spain...

Electricity prices

Okay, so you pay about 0.22 EUR/kWh.

That's slightly less than we pay in the UK, possibly because we burn more gas (28% rather than Spain's 20%).

Thanks. (This is as much because there isn't alt text as an acknowledgment)

Viva #España!

"the total cost of reaching net zero by 2050 is likely to be no greater than the cost of a single fossil fuel price shock"

If there is any upside to the war in #Iran, acceleration to renewables would be it.

That's awesome for Spain.

But: “I'd prefer to be dependent on China for the import of solar panels and batteries, than I would, for oil and gas coming from the Gulf, and I'll tell you why: because if I buy that solar panel, that battery, that wind turbine, that transformer, I buy it once every 25 years. I don't have to buy it every day.”

... makes me think that soon there will be capitalists working out ways to build in planned obsolescence and enshittification. :(
